About this book
"Douglas Jerrold, close friend of Charles Dickens and literary sparring partner of Thackeray, leading light of satirical weekly Punch and indefatigable campaigner against social and political oppression, militarism and capital punishment, died in 1857 at the height of his fame. Thackeray and Dickens both acted as pallbearers at his funeral." "Drawing on his detailed study of Jerrold's writings, and on much hitherto unpublished correspondence, Michael Slater sets out to restore Douglas Jerrold to his place at the very heart of the record of theatrical and journalistic life in London in the first half of the 19th century."--BOOK JACKET.
